The four results areas of the CPS - Energy, Private Sector Development, Inclusion, and Service Delivery – remain consistent with the Pakistan One Nation One Vision 2025, and are aligned with the WBG’s twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. Gains have been made in many areas by the midpoint of the CPS period. Progress, albeit uneven, has been made in stabilizing the macroeconomic situation, reducing load shedding in the power sector, increasing tax collection as a share of GDP, improving doing business, and investing in disaster and climate resilience. This progress was largely supported by the completion of a successful IMF program, an accompanying series of development policy credits (DPCs), and a ramp-up of IFC long-term investments.All four of the CPS results areas remain relevant and largely on track with some changes proposed.The PLR proposes a one-year extension to the CPS to FY20 to align with the electoral cycle of the country and the IDA18 period.
